[OOC] DC Universe: Crisis of a new Era

[Keyblade87]

Darkseid. One of the biggest baddies of our world has sent every DC duper hero and villan into alternste demensions leaving only their children behind to either take up their parents mantle or forge a new path. My name is Timothy Greyson but most people know me as NightWing now. Together with the new JLA weve started defending the universe and this is our story.

Rules

#1 No God Modding of any kind. This means no combining the powers of more than one hero. (Exceptions to this would be sa a child of Batman and Black Canary who sine only one of their parents was Meta would have their mothers powers and their fathers Physicality.
#2 Play nice. Basically being enemies within the game is all in good fun but lets leave it there and not be flaming others. if I notice this going on I will be kicking people and writing your character out of the RP.
#3 GM and CoGMs words are law (CoGMs will be decided later)
#4 Possibly the most important rule. Have fun. If no one is having any fun then the game becomes a chore and no one wants that.

Back Story: WIP

Delilah discovered her parents past lives after an incident during her very early school life. She was in an argument with a friend and after having let out a small scream of frustration, she ended up blowing out the side of the classroom wall, shattering the windows of the cars outside as well as the buildings across the street. Shortly after the incident both her mother and father sat down with her and explained to her what it meant and where it came from.

Throughout her upbringing her mother and father had taught her how to defend herself, spending hours with her in their home gym practising various different martial arts as well as using the home equipment in order to maintain a level of physical fitness. Though she'd never expected them to have lead the lives of heroes, instead having guessed they were just making sure she'd be safe when outside around other people.

After she'd learned about their past lives her parents began teaching her how to control and maintain her power as well as teaching her about restraint on using it. They'd spend hours teaching her their tricks of the trade, such as how to ride a motorcycle and how to shoot an arrow with lethal precision. The time spent together was nice and Delilah felt that since discovering their past, they'd came closer as a family.

When she turned the age of eighteen her mother gave her a set of keys to her own motorcycle, despite the hesitation of her father who felt the things were a death trap. She was told that one day she would become the next Black Canary, if she wanted to be, though her father was very specific that her costume wouldn't be allowed to be anything like her mothers. Though her mother just rolled her eyes and winked at her when her father wasn't looking.

It wasn't until after the events of Darkseid that she stood up to take the name of her mother, deciding to follow in the footsteps of her parents and help protect the lives of the innocent. She didn't fully know if she was ready to take on such a responsibility. But she did know she'd do everything within her power to give it her best shot, and with luck, maybe she'd meet others along the way willing to do the same.

His father however had already started teaching him martial arts with the help of Bruce Wayne and his own son Damien Wayne. When his father moved them to a new City he quickly discovered the existence of the Green Arrow in the city. His father hung up his mask and costume and told the now 13 year old Timothy the origin of his name. He was named after the young Timothy Drake who was killed in a fight while under the mantle of Robin. Soon after at age 17 Bruce Wayne called their house. Tim picked it up, all Bruce said was that the League needed Nightwing and listed co-ordinates. Since his parents were gone Tim donned the outfit and mask and flew to the co-ordinates surprising everyone there he held his own against a horde of the Jokers goons and even a robotic warrior with little help from the other league members. Though later chastised for his actions His parents were still proud of him for stepping up and doing what he thought was right. When his parents went to fight Darkseid he hugged them and his father showed him his very own Nightwing suit and gear. After the events that followed Tim made his way to Gotham to see what happened to Damien and sure enough he had been left behind to carry on as Batman.

[mattmanganon]

Name: Hera Wayne (Batwoman)
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Parentage:

Bruce Wayne: (Father)
Diana Prince: (Mother)

Appearance:

Normal

Costume

Powers/Abilities:

Highly trained in multiple forms of combat, including swordplay, Tai-Chi, Boxing, Tae-Quan-Do and Wrestling.
Highly trained Acrobat.
Highly trained escape artist
Utilizes a number of Amazonian weapons, including a pair of Gauntlets of Submission and a Lasso of Truth
She also has the standard Bat-equipment, baterangs, tiny cutting laser, explosive gel and a batclaw. As well as a head's up display built into her mask, which she uses to control the autopilot of the Invisible Jet.
Her costume is made from a super-light weight, polymer-treated kevlar, allowing for full range of movement, but also difficult to pierce from bullets, arrows and most other stabbing weapons (She learned from her mothers mistakes in attire)

Back Story: Hera, the child that should not have been, bore from a father with no parents and a mother never meant to know the touch of a mortal. The gods are not pleased with her existance, to say the least. Before she was thought of, everybody imagined the idea of Batman and Wonder Woman getting together and (As Plastic Man once said) "Hear the pitter-patter of tiny justice machines." Well, what they didn't know was that, being an Amazon, Diana was supposed to remain celibate.

It was the moment that Hera was born that the Gods rescinded their powers and struck her mother as mortal. Diana didn't care, as she had found the one thing she needed more than anything else, to love and to be loved. Hera grew up hearing the stories about her mother and father, and somehow came to harbor a mild self loathing knowing that, had she not been born, that her mother would still be one of the worlds greatest superheroes. Although Bruce was determined to keep Hera out of the superhero trade, Damien was far more lenient and trained her. This is probably why that, at the age of 12, she stole her mothers equipment and Stephanie's old Robin outfit from the batcave and took to the streets alongside her older Halfbrother (She got grounded for a week afterwards). Ever since then, she has been steadily making her way up the crime fighters list. She was a member of the Teen Titans for a while, but they only lasted 3 years, and she returned to Gotham, the prodigal daughter returning. On her 18th birthday, Alfred surprised her with her own Batwoman outfit. She only stayed in Gotham for 3 months, before growing annoyed at her fathers constant critique of her skills and her mother seeming to constantly try to bond with her, something that Hera's self-resentment wouldn't allow to succeed. She ran off and became a travelling vigilante, going across the country and righting wrongs as they crossed her path.

She is not a god, she is but a human. (P.S. Anyone caught peeking at her bust is likely to be pummeled. Just a heads up.)

((I decided to make a character that has a lot of room to develop over the course of the RP.))

No no no no no noooooooooo!!! I wanted to play Batwoman! (a completely different Batwoman, but still...) I didn't think anyone would take such an obscure character, oh well.

[TheUnknowable]

My character

Name: Alexander Dox (Alasand'r/Bluefire)

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Parentage:
Mother: Komand'r (Blackfire)
Father: Vril Dox

Appearance: Skinny but well toned, Black, short hair, medium height

Powers/Abilities:
Computer/mechanical knowledge
Energy projection (dark blue)
Starbolts
Superhuman strength, stamina, endurance, durability, agility, reflexes
Immunity to intense cold and radiation
Multilingualism (via lip contact)
Ability to breathe in outer space
Flight (including FTL)

Back Story: Born to the interstellar criminal Blackfire and her consort Vril Dox, he was raised by the rebels until he was sixteen, though he got her powers, in action he took more after his father than his mother. He could often be found repairing the group's ships or other technology when he was supposed to be training in how to fight. Soon his mother grew tired of this and sent him on a mission to try and teach him to behave as a warrior. The Thanagarians weren't happy about having one of their outposts attacked by pirates and he was captured, imprisoned for several years.
While he was in prison he was forced by the guards to fight several of the other inmates. There he learned to hold his own in battle, but only his powers allowed him to survive the long imprisonment. When he was eventually released, he tried to lead an honest life, working on a cargo ship. He regularly contacted his aunt, who told him of her adventures on Earth as well as various cultures in the galaxy. He found that their discussions helped him adjust to life among normal people. When her messages stopped coming, he asked his captain for a leave of absence to investigate it. He was dropped off about 100 lightyears from Earth and he flew the distance as quickly as he could, hoping that he wasn't too late to save her.

[StarBoi]

Name: Juliet Dox/ Jul-El / Supergirl
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Parentage: Kara Zor-El / Querl Dox (Brainiac 5)
Appearance:

normal

costume

Powers/Abilities: Under the Sun's solar radiation, Supergirl's kryptonian blood allows her to absorbs energy and can fly, has superstrength, superspeed, invulnerability, acute hearing and a range of vision, including x-ray vision and heat vision. However, she is vulnerable to Kryptonite and even without it can be beaten.. She is deadly smart like her father but not as strong as her mother. (She is not completely OP)

Back Story: Many years after Supergirl left the Justice League with Brainiac 5, a teenage girl was found roaming around the JLA base, she was apprehended after a huge fight (because this girl was strong like Supes and smart like Bats they had trouble catching her). She claimed to be the daughter of the previous Supergirl and was sent to take Kara's place in protecting Earth. Much like the original Supergirl, Juliet went to live under Superman's watch and he took care of her and taught her just as he had Kara. Although she did not have the training from the Amazons like her mother, Juliet was very capable of taking down enemies with her wits alone. Especially after spending a lot of time with Batman. Finally when she had proven herself, Superman gave her her very own costume and she joined with the others. It wasn't long after joining JLA that the incident with Darkseid had occurred and she was left alone to protect Earth with the few heroes that were left. Now it was only a matter of finding them...

Well, I could change her to Batgirl if you want... Hell, if you really want Batwoman so much, i'll change the entire character, seeing as I hate it when DC rp's just become bat-fests, and, unless I change my character, this would bring us up to 3 bats... Sorry if that sounds passive-aggressive, it's not supposed to, it's just that without tone of voice, sentances like that tend to sound a little aggressive. I meant it in a "I'd be more than happy to, seeing as I have other idea's, and you have one thing that you really want to do." kind of way.

[Keyblade87]

Everyone looks great but Xikari chan I have to remind you that the premise of this is to be the children of the heroes we all know and love taking up our parents mantles. and from what I see that's the Super Girl everyone knows.

Also whats wrong with a lot of bats...there are TONS in the DC Universe.

[Winter]

[Keyblade87]

Nah, the worse offence my character might have is under powered..ness.

[Keyblade87]

[supertinyking]

Name: Luke Michel/ The Crimson Luchador (Formerly the Ultimate Luchador.)
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Parentage: Gena Lin , Bill Michel (Neither of them super heroes.)
Appearance: Extremely bulky in figure, Luke suffers from a side effect of a vat of chemicals he fell in while battling Toy Master, turning his skin a dark crimson red. His Luchador mask has a double helix down the sides, and on the front, a skull pattern. He wears no shirt, but rather just a pair of slightly baggy pants reaching to below his knees, being black to match his mask, and cape. When not fighting crime, he wears a white suit, white gloves, white boots that go up into his pant legs and a white mask, along with reflective glasses to hide his now stained skin.
Powers/Abilities:
-Physically fit-
-Skilled Wrestler-
-Has extreme pain tolerance-
-Is one witty talker.-
-Rather large in size-
Back Story: One of the few heroes to have killed their arch rival, the luchador has had a troubled past. Formerly a youth near the Mexico-Texas border, his parents had abandoned him, so he took to the life of a street urchin, stealing and mugging people in his youth to get the money to get by, and feed his young sister, Lilly. He always made sure Lilly had everything she needed, he helped get her into a nice school, made sure she had something to eat every night. Lilly had adored super heroes, and in a similar way, luchadors. Luke managed to get a cheap store bought plastic one, and pretend to be a super hero for his sister, making their hard lives a bit easier with a laugh. Eventually, he was forced by a small time drug cartel to run drugs across his city on foot, as to avoid police detection. One day he was caught, and a corrupt official beat the names of his co-gang members out of him. For this, one day when returning home, he found his sister....with a cartel neck tie, and a message written in her blood, telling him this is the price for betrayal. Donning the mask his sister had adored so much, he swore to kill the men responsible for his sister's death. The cartel who had forced him into a life of serious crime, and the cop who has beat him to the point he had to tell him the names of his co-criminals. Eventually, after years of training, close shaves with not only his gang, but the law, and even an encounter with batman,The Ultimate Luchador took his revenge..but when he stared the men who has killed his sister in the face, while he could of easily broken them with a flick of his wrist...he threw them to the police, and walked away. Being an extremely small time hero, he flew under the justice league's radar until one day in his area the villain known as Toyman kidnapped a bus full of children, with intent to turn them into dolls. While batman was on the scene, there was a split moment where a child was dropped by Toyman, to plummet into a vat of super heated red dye. Acting reflexively, the luchador lunged though a window, saving the child, but having himself plummet into the vat. This is what dyed his skin the now iconic crimson. Later in life, while fighting his also small time villain, the rain maker, Maker had caused several children to drown in a flash flood, the luchador snapped, and in turned, snapped Rain maker into two halves, before throwing him into the flood waters. Several heroes attempted to have him arrested, but he was in the right, having legally acted in..self defense. Now, in a world where many heroes have vanished, will this hero find a place among the justice league? Or will once again his radical actions lead him to be shunned? Only time will tell.

[Keyblade87]

looks great man ill add him to the accepted characters list in the morning. in the meantime however Winter will be one of my Co-GMs and I'll leave her in charge while im gone.

[TheUnknowable]

It occurred to me that I'm going to have to steal a kiss from one of the female (well, technically they don't have to be) heroes to learn English. Any volunteers? Actually stealing one would count as low-level godmoding.

[Winter]

You could get one from me, as long as you're ready to take a heavy hook to jaw and possible throw as price :P

[TheUnknowable]

I think I can take it.
